John Bopp, one Of the owners Of tn,
0reason Farm, two weeks ago bought
Texas pony" from . herd brought to tn.
Valley. Monday Of last week he went init
the enclosure where he had placed thu
horse, and caught him preparatory to sad.
ding him. While Mr.. B. held the horse By
the halter strap, the animal jumped against
him. throwing him down and breaking one
OF his legs In two places. A physician Wal
called at once. and the usual remedies ap-
piled. but the unfortunate man never reeoY-
cred from the shock. He died Wednesday,
and his remains were inferred In the Masonic
Cemetery Friday. A post-mortem sxamina.
ton showed that . clot had formed In his
heart, which was the immediate cause Of
his death.
A eorrespondence elsewhere calls attention
to the prevalence Of Texas fever among the
cattle IN Arcadia ana other points along the
railroad south Of here. The attention of the
authorities IL directed to the matter. The
following 10 the law relating to It.:
II any person shall wilfully and knowingly
drive or bring any diseased or distempered
cattle, affected with what 10 commonly known
fictitious disease, into or through this state.
or from one part thereof to another, unless
It be to remove them from one piece Of
ground to another Of the same owner, or II
disea:ed or distempered cattle, or shall
knowingly sell any diseased hog, affected
With what is commonly known ~ hog chol-
era, without disclosing to the purchaser the
every such person shall be deemed guilty Of

We give place to the following from the
Jackson Cash. Book In the "Brevities,"
since 1t will be of particular interest to many
residents Of the Valley: "While Rev. Wor.
snop and wife were At Commerce last week
some miscreant or miscreants entered their
house and committed such depredations -
merit severe punishment. The rascals scat
tered such things as clothing and other
goods oil about the rooms. and ransacked
Mr.. VS. desk and fumbIed over and mixed
his papers up badly, tore up linen goods.
took Mrs. Worsnop's paints which she uses
In oil painting and painted the trunk and the
window blinds, and smeared up the floor
with Il. In fact, when Mr.. and Mrs. w. re.
turned they found everything topsy -turvy.
Nothing seems to have been stolen, - every.
thing with the exception Of one trunk was
locked up. This trunk contained some
relics left Mrs. w. by her mother, and all of
Its contents were scattered over the floor
and very much abused. Mr.. w. informs us
that he and his wife have never yet left
home for day or more but Whist some par.
~ or parties haye entered their house and
left evidences Of their meanness. We un.
derstand that they will quit housekeeping
this week, and NO doubt It is because they
are annoyed so much by these troublesome
scamps, and they are taking this step to get
nd Of them. It may be that 1t Is bad boys
who have been doing this work. but boys or
whoever 1t may be, they ought to be appre- |
hended II possible and severely punished"
We take the following from the Parish
Record, . neat and entertaining little psp,r
connected With the Church Of the Holy Com. |
munion, st. Louis:
send you . brief notice Of charming |
church fee held In Judge Emersop,s park It |
Tronton, on the evening Of August I'd. /
All who have had the pleasure Of visiting |
this picturesque valley. know Of the place, |
which the Judge so kindly makes free to oil |
visitors. On tie occasion Of this festival, eli |
the grounds were lighted up; the largest Of |
the coiored lanterns being hung xround the |
lovely little lake, on which doAted the tiny |
boat. Sweet strains issued from . band Of |
eight pieces, placed near the lake. and the |
rustic sests and bridges, finished up scene |
not soon to be forgotten.
From every part Of the park issued the
pleasure that had been provided for them.
Tables were scattered all through the |
grounds, and many parties were seated ut |
them. enjoying the delicious ices and cake. SO
lavishly served.
1t was pleasant to see among the bevy of |
busy workers, vieing with each other in their |
earnest eudeayors 70 benefit the parish It |
Ironton, . former parishoner Of the Holy |
Communion. Indeed II 10 pleasant to note, |
that wherever our members have gone: all
over the land, they have been marked for |
their activity and energy, being never second |
In any Church enterprise.
The Sunday school children rendered
pretty little cantata most creditably to them
selves aad their teachers. As they were
standing near the lake, the reflection Of the
lights, and of the party on the water, pro.
duced fairylike effect, pleasant to see. and
to be remembered.
1t Is to be hoped that the earnest wish Of
the members Of this struggling little con.
gregation may be well rewarded. Certainly |
this entertainment which they have given.
will not soon be forgotten BY those whose |
privilege Il was to be present.
With the earnest and devoted minister |
now In charge (the Rev. Mr.. Davis). the |
church IN Ironton has bright future before |
It, and the people Of the valley are fortunate
indeed to have such . rector, and such |
rector's wife. Holy Communicates will un. /
derstand why, when l say that Mr.. Davis In |
appearance, manner, voice and preaching, |
reminds one most forcibly Of Bishop futile. |
What more can the Churchmen OF the Ar.
cadian Valley ask for? B. 8. b.
Texas Fever.
